Social Media Posted October 26 Posted October 26 In a significant show of support for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, global superstar Beyoncé endorsed Harris at a rally in Houston focused on abortion rights. This marks a noteworthy political statement from Beyoncé, nearly seven months after Harris publicly praised the singer’s latest album, *Cowboy Carter*, saying it “redefined a genre and reclaimed country music’s Black roots.” In a city already buzzing with anticipation, Beyoncé’s appearance with longtime friend and fellow Destiny’s Child member, Kelly Rowland, underscored the importance of the moment.

Beyoncé: We are all part of something much bigger. We must vote. We need you. It’s time to sing a new song. The old notes of downfall, discord, despair no longer resonate. Our generations of loved ones before us are whispering an anthem Beyoncé: We are all part of something much bigger. We must vote. We need you. It’s time to sing a new song.

When Beyoncé released *Cowboy Carter* earlier this year, she explained in an Instagram post that the album was “born out of an experience” where “she did not feel welcomed,” a reference that fans widely interpret as addressing her 2016 appearance at the Country Music Association (CMA) Awards. “The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me,” she wrote. “This ain’t a Country album. This is a ‘Beyoncé’ album.” KamalaHarris has taken the stage and what a welcome from Houston with the crowd chanting KAMALA VP @KamalaHarris has taken the stage and what a welcome from Houston with the crowd chanting KAMALA🔥🔥#KamalaForFreedom pic.twitter.com/ibmnHqQkLP — Skyleigh Heinen-Uhrich (@Sky_Lee_1) October 26, 2024 Harris, the country’s first female vice president and a trailblazer of Black and Indian heritage, resonated deeply with Beyoncé’s experience. Showing solidarity, Harris shared her thoughts on social media, writing, “Thank you for reminding us to never feel confined to other people's perspective of what our lane is. You have redefined a genre and reclaimed country music’s Black roots. Your music continues to inspire us all.” The endorsement from Beyoncé follows another high-profile support Harris recently received from Taylor Swift in September, strengthening Harris’s base in the music community and potentially amplifying her reach among younger voters. A recent poll from the New York Times and Siena College, released just before Beyoncé’s endorsement, showed Harris tied with former President Donald Trump in the popular vote at 48% each. With Beyoncé’s influence, some wonder if her endorsement might sway undecided voters in Harris’s favor and impact the tight race heading into Election Day. Based on a report from USA News 2024-10-26
Popular Post mogandave Posted October 26 Popular Post Posted October 26 Well if a rich promiscuous entertainer supports her, that’s enough for me! I guess I’ll go ahead and vote for open borders, mass illegal immigration, more DEI, a more divided country, men in women’s sports and prisons, more welfare, less accountability, criminalizing meritocracy, men in girls’ showers and free sex change operations for criminals. Yeah!!! We love you Beyonce! 1 1 2

Sad you sound like a frightened little man just like don trump….over 30,000 people attended that ralley in deep red Texas….I voted for a career DA who will get the bipartisan border bill pushed through and a more egalitarian America were if you work ya got a shot.the shower sex change stuff isn’t on my radar doesn’t concern me and is irrelevant. 1 1 1 2 1
Popular Post mdr224 Posted October 26 Popular Post Posted October 26 Taylor swift has already said she would leave the country if trump won. Im hoping the rest of these celebrities do too. Maybe they can all go live in thailand 1 1 1
Popular Post impulse Posted October 26 Popular Post Posted October 26 I'm surprised she showed up this time... Last time the Dems were led to expect an appearance by Beyonce was at the DNC convention when the party elite were desperate to keep everyone from leaving early. On her endorsement... Who cares? She is another one, shielded from the disaster the Harris/Biden administration has brought to ordinary Americans who can't afford to fly private, eat $200 lunches, and surround themselves with paid security 24/7. 1 2 1
Popular Post thaibeachlovers Posted October 26 Popular Post Posted October 26 Clutching and straws comes to mind. While a singer is of course entitled to voice their opinion on anything, same as anyone else, what makes them think their opinion is any more important than Joe Bloggs the plumber's opinion? Actually the plumber does a more important job than a singer. I've never bought a Beyonce CD, and don't remember anything she sang, but I'd be in trouble if the plumbing didn't work and there was no one to fix it. What actually saddens me is that apparently people actually think being a singer or an actor makes people special. They are just doing their job like anyone else, and while they may be really good at that job, they are not superior to anyone else. 2 1

Earlier today I watch Michelle Obama stumping for Harris wow is she effective not sure about the numbers at the ralley easily 10,000+ im thinking you are going to be disappointed lol it’s the trumpys who are clutching at straws! lol 😂 1
Jingthing Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) A great event. Maybe the best of this season. Harris won't win Texas but there is good chance this rally could help finally put the villainous Senator TED CRUZ out of business. The senate is very important too. Edited October 26 by Jingthing 1 1

She was supposed to perform. It was advertised in that way. Kamala got a lot of boos when Beyoncé didn't deliver and she hoodwinked everybody again. I know I was disappointed, I was down for some twerking. 1 1
John Drake Posted October 27 Posted October 27 It seems a rather ugly incident occurred at Harris's rally. A black woman had to intervene and pull a white woman away from screaming at an infant. 1

John Drake Posted October 28 Posted October 28 5 hours ago, thaibeachlovers said: Is the race of the women involved significant, that you mentioned it? Yes, because I have pointed out in many of my posts that white women, fitting this woman's profile, form the core of Harris's supporters. They have made politics into their religion, and are prepared to go to any extreme to get what they demand. Black women, otoh, are pretty much playing out to form, voting in their usual racially acceptable categories and responding to fellow black church ladies. The black women are mentally safer than the white women. 1 1
JonnyF Posted October 28 Posted October 28 I must assume they are not going for the disabled vote by involving Beyonce. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-62376575 1

Who can forget The Black Eyed Peas - Let's get Retarded - whoops, sorry - Let's get it Started.. These days people are looking for every opportunity to be offended... I hate Cancel Culture 1

So when someone with ableist, sexist and racist lyrics in their songs and who also partakes in massive cultural appropriation starts lecturing others I feel obliged to point it out. Just as I did when they got Eminem up there. I have no wish to see her cancelled. Unless of course the Diddy rumours prove to be true. 1

Your language with respect to 'ableist, sexist and racist' merely reinforces my statement that people, and apparently you too, are looking for every opportunity to be offended. 1

It doesn't offend me in the slightest. I am simply pointing out that Eminem and Beyonce are not necessarily in line with the Woke, ostensibly "bekind" messaging of the left. For example, criticizing Trump for his p***y grab mark while being publicly endorsed by a rapper who sang this seems a tad hypocritical, no? 1
